Okay, so yesterday, I faced a tough choice for my fantasy football lineup: start Josh Reynolds or Zay Jones. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon digging into this.
First, I checked the latest updates to make sure both guys were even playing. You know how it is with injuries and last-minute scratches.
Then, I looked at some projections. Most of them had Zay Jones scoring a little more, especially in PPR leagues. It seemed like the safer bet.
- I compared their stats side-by-side, looking at targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
- Reynolds seemed boom-or-bust, while Jones looked more consistent.
I also scoured a bunch of fantasy football advice sites. Some experts were high on Reynolds’ upside, especially if a certain other player was out. Others were all about Jones getting more looks in his offense.
Honestly, my head was spinning. I ended up using one of those “Who should I start?” tools. You just plug in the players, and it spits out a recommendation based on a whole bunch of expert opinions.
The Verdict
The tool suggested Jones, and since I was already leaning that way, that’s who I went with. I also consider to get some help from the Fantasy Footballers for Week 14. In the end, I trusted my gut and the numbers, and I locked in Zay Jones.
It was a nail-biter, but Jones came through! He didn’t have a huge game, but he got me enough points to edge out my opponent. Reynolds, on the other hand, didn’t do much. I dodged a bullet there!
So, that’s my story. Making these lineup decisions can be tough, but it’s all part of the fun of fantasy football. Just remember to do your research, trust your instincts, and sometimes, rely on those handy online tools!
